A Primed Band Is A Filled Band

[Jean McMillan 2,973]

It interests me when a member posts something potentially controversial or inflammatory and then states that he/she "won't be reading the negatives anyway." This is like setting a pot of Soup on a stove burner on a high setting, then leaving the pot to boil over and burn someone, while announcing that "It's too hot in the kitchen so I'm getting out of it."

Although the OP (original poster) states that this thread is directed at "many who seek accurate information", 99.9% of the thread appears to be directed at a single, unnamed individual. If the OP has a problem with that individual, I believe it should be dealt with in a private conversation with that individual. In my own not-so-humble opinion, making a personal problem the topic of a public discussion that invites the victim to defend him/herself, and others to join the mob mentality the thread fosters, is the passive-aggressive antithesis of the "best wishes" the OP expresses at the close of the thread.

I will now close the kitchen door and depart this thread with the hope that the fire burns itself out so we can all go back to helping and supporting other.
